Re: A Question about Fake Authentication

Yes you can if you already know the mac address of a legitimate station. If not, your only way is to try a mac bruteforce with Mdk3 for example, but the result of this attack is very unsure as there are many mac addresses to test and it will be very very long.

Use Airodump to sniff the network until a station comes up, this is the best way.

Re: A Question about Fake Authentication

Actually, this isn't the best way, because if you're waiting for someone to connect to the network, it means that the network isn't yours... Right?

My answer was for that:

So of course he knows if there is mac filtering enabled or not, and if so he also knows the mac address of a valid client because he's talking about his own network. So when I told him this is the best way, this was meant to make him understand that trying to bruteforce his own mac filtered access point will be very hard to do. There is no reason to search for illegal activity since he's talking about his own network from the beginning, and be sure I won't give any advice that would help people to get into a network which is not theirs.
